Holiday Theme: Go Bold

Rules have long been thrown out this year so have a little fun with your holiday table this year. Try a bold, untraditional color for your holiday linen rentals like a spiced pumpkin orange or deep Mediterranean blue, and combine with our luxurious new linen textures such as our etched velvets, rustic Havana, and polished Kennedy linens.

Holiday Theme: Natural Beauty

Enhance your traditional holiday tablescape by adding fruit to your Thanksgiving pumpkins or winter greenery. Pomegranates pop off our satin and velvet linen rentals for a luxe winter look. Let wheat, apples and artichokes on a greenery garland celebrate the harvest season with farm tables and cross back chairs. Pears adorn a whimsical and elegant floral holiday tablescape with our Carrera Mable plates, gold flatware, Harlin chairs, and velvet linen rentals.

Don’t Forget the Food! Holiday Buffets

Don’t forget the foodservice when planning your holiday meal. Your holiday buffet and service rentals can be just as beautiful as your tablescape. Our catering service rentals offer the best of both worlds. Serve hot beverages from our gorgeous hammered coffee urns while you keep food warm in our coordinating hammered chafing dishes. Host your best cocktail hour with our wide range of glassware rentals. And dish up your holiday dessert buffet with our pedestals that are perfect for pie!

Cozy Countdown Lounge

Clean, modern lounge furniture is cozy without compromising style! Pair our soft Black Velvet Sofa with a cozy Black & Silver Rug and a few metallic side tables for propping drinks until it’s time for the toasts!

Perfect Bar for Toasts

Our Black Franklin Bar is a classic staple for party cocktails – you can accessorize with our Avenue Bar Back Shelving or Gold Bar Cart for storage and service. Don’t forget Gatsby Champagne Coupes for toasting or, for those forgoing the bubbly, our Upton Glassware is perfect for bourbon or mocktails!

Metallic finished rentals help dress up any soiree, whether a casual cocktail party or a formal dinner. Make your Nashville or Franklin TN holiday party sparkle and shine with our gold and silver party rentals. Here are a few of the metallic chairs, tableware and lounge accessories for your company holiday party.

Gold Chiavari Chairs

These classic chairs are the perfect way to dress up a more casual venue, or a wonderful way to keep the overall design more formal. Gold never goes out of style, and the comfortable seat cushion makes this on-trend staple an enjoyable one, too!

Gold Conga Drum Tables

Add a little more gold to your event with the metallic Gold Conga Drum Tables. Perfect for a lounge area, these tables add a little bit of sparkle and personality to an otherwise neutral area. Pair it with our white Mercer Loveseats or Couch for a modern look or our London Loveseat (shown below) for a contemporary event lounge.

Austin Flatware

The ever popular Austin Flatware dresses up a tablescape with everyone’s favorite metallic of the moment: gold! Pair them with red napkins and green garland to keep the design very holiday friendly, or place them next to our Belmont Chargers with beaded details for a winter wonderland look.

Glass Charger with Gold Rim

Add just a touch of gold to your tablescape with the Glass Charger with Gold Rim. Perfect for your holiday soirees, these chargers pair well with our Hamlet & Ophelia China making a statement at each guests’ seat.

Silver Leaf Linen

Let your linens sparkle and shine with our Silver Leaf Linen – placed a top cocktail high tops, guest book or gift tables, or even the buffet table adds a winter shimmer to your holiday party gathering.

Bonus Tip! Neutral Accents

Too much of a good thing applies when styling an event with metallics: ground your design with neutral elements, like our Grayson Farm Tables or Ghost Chairs. Better yet, combine them together for an optical illusion: the lucite and gray can combine to look silver with the right lighting & design. Add a Chiffon Runner and set with your favorite metallic tableware for a winter wonderland-inspired tablescape.
